Here are a few sites to check out on geneology that I have used. Like JJ said, Cyndislist.com has a lot of different web sites that are very useful.

No Dots, Cindy's is Cindy's. How she maintains that list I'll never know. As far as the year, I started my geneology back in 1990. Good gosh, where have the years gone?

that's really interesting. Your ancestor probably met some of mine. One of my ancestors was the chief of the tribe of Indians at the mouth of the Columbia river where Lewis and Clark spent the winter.

My cousin is big on the family tree and sent me some pictures, taken many years ago, of some of our relatives. I kid you not, the women looked like men in drag! I had some seriously ugly ancestors!

Dianne, I think we all did! Actually, most of these women were hard working women with no time or money to spend on themselves. They lived some hard lives, and the photos really show that.

I'm sure when we're really old and wrinkly, we'll be just beautiful!!!

My greatgrandmother dipped snuff. Gross. Kathy, they weren't just rough looking, they had huge heads and big, ugly faces. Am I looking at myself in years to come? Gads, I sure hope not. Honestly, they DID look like men wearing dresses.

Before my aunt passed away, she gave me some old pictures and I finally got to see what my greatgrandmother looked like. She was full-blooded Cherokee and quite pretty. It took me years to find her for the family tree as nobody remembered her name. I researched LA marriage certificates and there she was!

As an adult, I found out by accident that my father was adopted.

It really floored me. I used to wonder why he didn't look at all like his parents, but I never thought of adoption. My father died, so I never could talk to him about this. He used to call me his gypsy girl. Meanwhile I fond out that his mother was Hungarian.

Who knows. It could explain my love for tassels, rings on the fingers, dangling earrings, and long swooshy skirts. Oh and all those embroided blouses I have?…..I wonder.

I have to try some of these sites. Do you have to pay for all that stuff?
